The Portland ' Oregonlan's Salem
correspondent prints the following ex
cellent review of tho now laws adopt
ed by the people of Oregon last Mon
day: The constitutional amendments and
bills adopted by the people at the
election last Monday will go Into ef
fect aa aoon a the vote thereon can
be canvassed' and the result proclaim
ed by tho governor. Thla will prob
ably be three weeks yet, and some .ot
the county clerks are always slow In
sending In returns. Most of the
amendments and Initiative measures
have no Immediate effect, however,
though they will be In full force as
aoon aa the proclamation haa been
Issued.
The recall amendment Is self-cxocu-tory
and will be effective at one. It
provide that 20 por cent of the voter
of an election to be held within 20
day for which election other candi
date may be nominated.
The reasons for the recall and the
dufense of the officer may bo printed
upon the sample ballots in not to ex
' ceed 200 word each. No provision
Is made aa to the manner In wrioh
nominations shall be made for the
special election. Recoil petition can
not be filed until ah officer has oc
cupied hi sposltlon six months, or. In
the case of a membor of the legisla
ture, until the legislature has been In
session five days.
Tha act Instructing members of tho
legislature to vote for the people's
choice for senator will, of course,
never be etfeotlve as an Imperative
law, but as a moral Influence upon
the legislature Its significance will be
determined next January.
The amendment changing the time
of holding eleotlons from June to No
vember wll take effect In 1010.
If the amendment. ' has passed In
creasing the number ot supreme
judges from three to five, though It
now seems Improbable, there will be
two judges to elect at the November

The company will make the best

any spray that will atand the test of

ADOPTED BY THE PEOPLE
If there bo any conflicting provisions
the act rvcolvlng the largest afflrma
tive vote will prevail.
The proportional representation
amendment merely authorises the
legislature to provide a system of elec
tlon by which minorities shall be as
sured of representation In all offices
to which two or more persons ar to
be elected. The amendment does not
prescribe the manner in which this
shall be accomplished, but leaves the
legislature to adopt any one of
number of plans of attaining It
The amendment authorizes the leg'
Mature to enact laws permitting the
voter to express his second and third
choice ot laws requiring that the per
son elected shall receive a majority
of the votes cast for the candidates
for the office.
As this measure Increases the op
portunltles of minority parties and as
the direct primary tends to loosen
party tics, there Is strong probability
that tho two together will result In
minority parties securing more rep
resentatlon than that to which they
would be entitled upon their actual
party strength.
The corrupt practices act limit the
expenditures of candidates In the prl.
mory campaigns to IS per cent of the
salary for one year, and In general
campaigns to 10 per cent of one year'i
salary, though any candidate may
spend $100 In each campaign. The
expenditure of close relatives and
partners are deemed those ot the can
dldate himself,
Information concerning each can'
dldate Is to be printed In a pamphlet

haa 10,000 acrea of land In th Red
canyon country, and he will stock It
with sheep. It will be remembered
that Mr, Oreenough purchased con
siderable land In thla country for mln
Ing purposes, but he haa figured It
out that It will be more profitable
for stock gracing."
Thla abort Item tell the atory ot
the end of one of the moat sensational
episodes In the ' mining annals of
Wyoming.
Over a year ago H. B. Oreenough
and his asoclate. all Spokane men.
began to quietly purchase ranch lands
In the Red canyon country In Fre-
mot county, following the explora
tions of proapectora, geologlata and
mining experts, who made what ap
peared to be thorough Investigations
of lands which the Oreenough sub
sequently purchased. '
It wa for many year generally
believed In Lander that In the Red
canyon district were rich placer de
posits and a number of reputable cit
izens were quoted at the time aa
saying that to their knowledke, gold
in considerable quantities had been
discovered by primitive placer mln
ing methods.
The Greenoughs became Interest
d In the stories of th gold deposits
and after taking steps , to assure
themselves that the mineral was
really there, prepared to develop the
lands on a large scale, even going so
far aa to purchase ranch lands down
the river known to have no mineral
value, but which It waa planned
would be the dumping ground of the
tailing from the placer work. Ex
pensive machinery was purchased and
hauled to the ground when without
warning the statement waa made
that the placers had been "salted."
that there was no gold, and that the
mining company would take no fur
ther steps toward placer develop-,
ment.t
No charges were ever brought Into
court and while some Investigations
were reported to have been made,
public Interest turned to other things
and as indicated In the Casper Trib
une paragraph, the lands once pur
chased aa placer claims are now be
ing put to good use In the rulsng of

Remarkable Achievement of Five
Revolutionary Heroes,
When Savannah waa Invested by the
American army Captain French, with
a email body of British regulars and
five small vessels, waa stationed 20
miles up the river, and the proximity
of the American force made him
nervous. Colonel John White of the
Georgia line wanted to capture this
detachment, but no soldiers could be
spared by the American general for
the undertaking. Now, the colonel
was a determined and masterful man
and resolved to make the venture on
hla own account. He persuaded three
orderlies and Captain Etholm to aid
him.
. At the fall of night they built
great many fire In the woods near
the British post. Then the colonel
and hi tour friends, "Imitating the
manner of the staff; rode with haste
in various directions, giving orders In
a loud voice, French oecame satis
fied that a large body ot the enemy
were upon him, and, being summoned
by Colonel White, he surrendered his
detachment, the crews ot five vessels
and 130 stands ot arms."
Colonel White pretended that he
must ke,ep back hi troop, aa Tory
outrages had -Infuriated them and In
discriminate slaughter might take
place. He took the parole of the
British captain and soldiers not again
to serve, gave them three guides, his
orderlies, to escort them to sate quar
ter and hurried them away before
daybreak lest the fury ot his pretend
ed soldiers should fall upon them,

caused Bert McMUlln to shoot and In

and then commit suicide. The trag
edy occurred on the ranch of Whit
more Thomas, near Labello, Mo., and
was witnessed by two farm hands.
It developed that McMlllin was at
one time a member ot the famous
Dalton gang of outlaws that terrorised
western Kansas and eastern Oklaho
ma a tew years ago and that his
brother Qua, also a membor ot the
gang, was shot to death In Oklaho

McMlllin has had very little to say
to , his neighbors, and It Is believed
he lived In constant dread lest his

each student a sero mark for all reel

tlclpated In were they In school. The
boys dismissed represent over half

boys left In school. Every class from
the freshmen up 1 represented In

Got Circus Fever.
When the parade passed the high
school yesterday morning Principal
D-xer, pursuant to instructlona, per
mitted the students to leave their
classes for a time and watch the pro
cession. The "41," like ail small boy,
could not withstand the temptation
to follow the callope. Bo they fol
lowed, bareheaded. Their appearance
In the parade was one of the aavlng
grace of the otherwise mediocre
procession.
Tasting the joys of circus life and
not being able to hold themselves, the
boys began a tew high school yells,
ending with the nine months school
yell. Admiring the flaunting banners
on the snake wagon tha youngsters
realised their need of something to
wave in the breeze.
Accordingly, they found sticks and
tied handkerchiefs to them and with
much childish joy waved their flags
to the paaaers-by, meanwhile keeping
up the noise of the nine months' Idea.
Prof. Reave In Hot Pursuit
When the parade wended Its way
toward the circus grounds the boys
deemed It best to return to their
classes. When they neared the build
ing they beheld Principal Beaver on
a bicycle a short distance behind
them, laboring under difficulties In
an attempt to catch them.. Seeing
that the instructor was about to over
take them, the "41" began to run.
They circled the school house and
tore down the alley between Second
and Third streets with Principal Beav
er tn hot pursuit. ;
The boys finally gave up the chase
and returned to school. Their names
were taken by the flustered professor.
They were permitted to stay In school
and had begun to think the matter
trifling one until they returned" to
school this morning. Then the pro
fessor Informed them they were at lib
erty to roam the streets or do any
thing they wished for two days.
. For their two holidays the young
sters were informed they would be
compelled to forfeit all credits for
the two days. They will not be given
opportunity to redeem the credits and
the seniors will be compelled to
squeeze through their graduating ex

two days.
HILL MAY CONTROL HAN FORD.
Great Nortliern Interesui Buy Block
of Irrigated Land.
That the Hill Interests are about to
get a large If pot a controlling share
In the Hanford Irrigation and Power
company Is the belief of many of
those interested In the big project on
the Columbia river south of Priest
Rnpids, says the Taqulna Republic
A meeting of the stockholders has
been called In Seattle June 25, when
a proposition to Increase the capitali
sation of the concern from 1250,000
to 2750,000 will be voted upon.
The cost ot the land, ot the con
struction of the immense power canal
and the erection of the pumping ma
chineryvand other work of the com
pany has been more than 1600,000 up
to date and It Is more than probable
that the extension of the scope of the
project .Is planned.
Among visitors to Hanford last
week were' Samuel Hill, W. J. Hlll
goss, ot St. Paul,, one of Hill's chief
land appraiser,, and N.'W. Miller,
chief construction engineer of the
North Bank railroad, and each of
them spent several days going over
the territory to be watered and In
specting the plant .
There la no doubt that Hill intends
at an early date to build a branch of
the North Bank road from Pasco via
the Columbia to a point of junction
with the Great Northern system, and
this would give the easy grade road
down the river to Vancouver the
chance to handle economically practi
cally all of the heavy freight destined
for tidewater originating In the state
of Washington. Incidentally, the road
would pnss through White Bluffs,
Hanford and the growing settlements
all along the Columbia to Wenatchee.
MURDER MYSTERY REVIVED.
Final Account Filed in Estate of Man
, Killed 22 Years Ago. x
The Willis Skiff murder at North
Powder,. 22 year ago, was brought
vividly to mind this week when Mc
Allster filed the final account In the
Skiff estate, with the county clerk
of Union county, says tha Baker City
Democrat The action has started
pioneers gossiping about the suppos
ed murder at that time. Dates con
flict slightly, but nevertheless, the
fact that Willis Skiff disappeared in
the year 1886 and that a body, Iden
tified later to be his, waa found In
the North Powder river the follow
ing year. Is well known.
History and pioneers aay that Skiff
was murdered on th steps of a
North Powder hotel In It If. Th fol
lowing year a body was found In the
North Powder river and Identified aa
that, of Skiff. Others refused to be
lieve thl and aay that Skiff Is allv
or at least lived after the finding
of the body. In any event, 14 years
ago saw administration of the per
sonal property In th courts of Union
county.
From that day to thl the courts
have not dealt with th Skiff tstat.
The final account as filed today spec
ifies that although th estate Inven
torled at 11240, ha badly depredat'
ed and la not worth that amount now
by a large margin.
Suspicion pointed strongly at the
time to the proprietor of th hotel.
near which the alleged murder took
place. Long and sensational ' trials
followed, but no one was ever con
victed of the crime. The proprietor
was soon after Incarcerated In th
Insane asylum.
CHICAGO GIRL'S IDEAL,
Model Husband Moat gweaur and Be
. Able to Bay Mead Ticket.
An Omaha paper asked Its unmar
ried women readers the following
question: "If you were to exercise
your leap year privilege what kind of
a man would yon propose to?" Th
prize offered for the best answer went
to Miss Myrtle Bascora Of 119 La Salle
street, Chicago,
Here are some of the qualifications
of Miss Bascom's Ideal man:
He must be a good meal ticket pro
vider.
He must be able to swear when the
occasion demands It
He must not stay out too many
nights In Ihe weeje But he would
not be forced to tell where be bad
been.
He must be old enough to know
what life Is. He can't learn this too
young.
He must have a face that will at
tract dogs and babies. Beauty la no
object
He must have just enough money to
know where the next meal Is coming
from, and not enough so that he can
live without working.
He must be an American and a
gentleman. Foreign noblemen and
Americans of the Thaw class need not
apply.
Miss Bascom does net think that
beauty should enter Into a marriage
contract It Is all th same whatever
the parties look like if they are suited
with each other, she says. ,

QRECDH VOTERS ARE CQMPLIMERTED
The Walla Walla Bulletin publishes
the following compllmentory and sen
sible editorial on the eection of United
States senator In Oregon at the recent
state election.
The state of Oregon has again come
to the front as one ot the great states
ot the Union by elaborating and dem
onstrating the greatest principle ot
our republican foftn of government
that the people rule.
Direct primary laws for the election
of candidates for United States sena
tors, as well, as other officials, have
been enacted In many states, but none
embody a statement No, 1, that the
candidate receiving the majority of
votes cast at tho primary shall, re
gardless of party, be elected. .
The nomination of candidates for
United States senator 'by the people
has been a great step in the reform
movement- Why the election of sen
ators by the people Bhould be termed
visionary Is beyond us. The fact that
In a republican state like Oregon a
democratic senator should receive a
majority of the votes cast is no slur
on the people,' but a compliment to
their intelligence. ' '
By voting for Chamberlain, ' they
evinced a desire for his election and
they should have him. While we
strongly believe In the tenets of the
republican-party and while we prefer
the election ot a republican wherever
possible, we realise that the election
of Chamberlain was not a blow at re
publicanism,' in that the rest of the
republican ticket was elected, but It
evidenced the fact that the people of
Oregon want Chamberlain to ' repre
sent them in the United States senate,
and the Oregon legislature la In duty
bound to send him there. It sounds
Inconsistent that republicans should
elect a demoorat to otfloe, but if the
